How can a French tutor help you?

The language of Descartes, Louis XIV, Balzac, and Napoleon is still spoken today by nearly 77 million French people. To truly understand the French language and appreciate the unique culture around it, you'll have to study hard. More importantly, you'll have to study correctly. Having a knowledgeable instructor who may personally walk you through the pitfalls of language learning may try to help you make the most of your time. Luckily, Varsity Tutors may find you an expert French tutor in Dayton, OH, who may try to help you rise to the top of the class.

Studying French isn't just a matter of learning which nouns have what gender, or knowing how articles indicate number. You also have to know how the average French person communicates in daily life. A textbook may teach you that French verbs are divided into moods, but it may not teach you the nuanced way in which French speakers use those verbs to indicate their personal attitudes. For that, you'll need a knowledgeable speaking partner. The educational directors at Varsity Tutors may help you connect with French tutors in Dayton who may be able to take your studies from textbook to actual conversation.

You'll get personalized instruction suited entirely to your needs. If you've understood main clauses, you won't have to sit through an entire week of them as you would in a regular class. You'll move ahead on your own schedule, slowing down or speeding up as you see fit. Instead of studying alone for tests, you may fine-tune your pronunciation or try out auxiliary verbs with your tutor. Varsity Tutors may help you find an experienced French tutor in Dayton, OH, who may try to help you attain success by creating a study plan that is focused on you.

Another benefit of working with a tutor is the freedom to arrange your tutoring sessions to suit your scheduling needs. You'll be able to set your meetings up on the days and at the times that work best for you. And if you need to reschedule, it's as easy as picking up the phone. Your tutor may come to your house, meet you at the local library, or even instruct you face-to-face through Varsity Tutors' online live learning platform.

For help connecting with French tutors in Dayton, contact the educational directors at Varsity Tutors today. Rather than relying on a classmate for help, you'll have an expert who knows the ins and outs of the French language.

Recent Tutoring Session Reviews

"The student has made great progress today with his speaking skills, being able to formulate phrases much quicker and with ease. We talked about his job completely in French, which is a rather difficult topic. We also went over some new vocabulary to do with his work."

"Today we learned the days of the week and some of the body parts. We reviewed everything that we had previously learned. The student now knows how to pronounce the alphabet in French. She is improving every session and is a pleasure to teach."

"We covered the past tense and irregular verb conjugations both in the past and the present. The student needed help most with differentiating when to use avoir and etre in the past tense, but with practice, I am sure that she will understand the concept. During the session, we practiced speaking in the past tense in order to work on pronunciation as well as listening skills. The student seems to be understand spoken French well."

"Today we spoke about our respective weekends, utilizing the passe compose and various vocabulary words.
I gave the student some materials with vocabulary for the kitchen: cooking verbs, genres like beverages, veggies, desserts, etc.
I also gave her the House of Etre diagrams, including Dr & Mrs Vandertramp for her to review on her own.
We chose a recipe together online to do this Friday when I see her. We converted the measurements from the metric/French style into the standard American units we were familiar with.
As we neared the end of the session, we read through some of the vocab together and talked about the roots of words and how to better ingrain them into our memories. She said she would have a goal of learning/memorizing 10/day on her own."

"We practiced numbers, speaking, and went over some popular sayings that the student wanted to review."

"The student and I figured out why the third person plural of "etre" has been a challenge to execute with the correct pronunciation. Part of the problem to resolve was the critical spelling difference of the third person plural of the two verbs. I made it clear to him that he should not be discouraged with pronunciation in French. I happen to be a stickler for good pronunciation.
He expressed a desire to begin conversational French with me as part of our sessions. I initially replied that we should do more grammar, and that is honestly how I feel. On the other hand, a few minutes devoted to brief exchanges of conversation would certainly prove useful to practice the verb conjugations, expressions, and vocabulary covered in each session.
I will note to express options the student has at his disposal when it comes to listening to French in real life. I will recommend free online videos and other sites for listening in French as my sessions with him continue."

"Today we worked on the conditional, use of "s'en aller" vs. "partir" and "sortir," and the continued demystification of "y," "en," and "le/la/lui/les/leur." We did some verbal Q&A as well. Next week will be a review of all of our progress."

"We completed the student's homework today that is due later this week. I hope this was a good preparation for the test she's supposed to take. She has some thorough knowledge of the French language. I think with some practice, it will all click together, without any outside help."

"We did a basic evaluation quiz together, so that I could see where the student stood with his French. This allowed us to introduce some terms and ideas that he will see later in his studies. We then learned and practiced saying numbers in French from one to twenty, and we studied the ways the letters were pronounced or not pronounced to make specific words sound a certain way. After this, we reviewed basic colors in French: blue, red, yellow, green, purple, and orange. We then went over pronouns. I introduced the notion that in French things are used differently based on if they are masculine or feminine. The student's attitude seemed positive. He seems like a hard worker and interested in learning more. I do think he struggled with the pronunciation of "r." I gave him some websites and songs in French he should listen to repeatedly. This will help him study French to become accustomed to the sounds. I also gave him sheets with the colors and numbers, so that he can review them this week. I asked him to review what we studied and to try to make sentences using our new vocabulary and some of the verbs I introduced."

"We worked on indirect object pronouns more, and did a practice grammar test that incorporated several recent topics. She created sentences using object pronouns, and did more speaking practice using past tense and object pronouns."

"We are working on some really unique projects for this month in preparation for our "Princess tea party," which will occur in October once the girls are prepared. Over the past few days, I remade all of the vocab flashcards for the "tea party words" and we spread them all on the floor and played match! We also practiced counting up to 20 and I taught them 20-30. We read part of Le Petit Prince from my personal collection and also looked at my Vision book, which I brought so that the girls could point out objects and colors that they know in French."

"At our last session, I started with the conjugation of the first group for the regular verbs. This was quite easy for the student; she learned a bunch of new verbs and employed them in writing a paragraph after I wrote one in front of her. She did wonderfully."
